I've Started

There's no time like the present.

I decided to get an A-Z of Birmingham so that I've got a hard copy of where I've been.

I caught the bus into the city centre and started my GPS watch to track where I'd walked.

I started here, on the junction of Corporation Street and The Priory Queensway.

It's that little red squiggle in the middle. It looks very insignificant but you've got to start somewhere. Hopefully, it will fill up soon enough.

Here are a few shots taken on my initial walk...
